I Will Die Alone

A little boy in baby blue, dancin' in my mama's room

I still hear her singin' to me

She sang of life, sang of love, everything I would become

How I'd meet the woman of my dreams

I was born of desert fire, driven by my one desire

Traded all I had for the great unknown

A bleeding heart I don't possess

And when I'm finally laid to rest, I will die alone

I left the church, took a stand, left everything they had planned

I heard the Devil call out to me

No diamond ring, no wedding band

The love I had slipped through my hands

And I will never be free

I was born of desert fire, driven by my one desire

Traded all I had for the great unknown

A bleeding heart I don't possess

And when I'm finally laid to rest, I will die alone

Yes, I will die alone

Stranded in the dead of night, waiting by the firelight

Beneath the silver stars and a moon of gold

A shadow, a silhouette, to every soul I've ever met

The memories I can't forget have grown so cold

I was born of desert fire, driven by my one desire

Traded all I had for the great unknown

A bleeding heart I don't possess

And when I'm finally laid to rest, I will die alone

Yes, I will die alone

I will die alone
